A great streak ends

[Beef03]

Yesterday was a sad day in my life. My streak of 4 3/4 years without taking a sick day ended. Spent all Monday night and Tueday morning in the washroom, made a valiant attpet to keep the streak alive, but was home by 10 a.m. and in bed for the rest of the day. Still not 100 per cent, but doing my best to start a new streak.
It was actually the first sick day i had taken from my working life since I was in Grade 12 and sprained my ankle before heading out to work at the local golf course. That's a streak of 7 years. I could count my sick days in high school on one hand. I only count back the 4 3/4 years because of college when I had more then a few self inflicted sick days.
Any other similar or strange personal streaks still alive?

I'm working on 3 weeks without a blowjob.

Every day for seven years, I've bought a newspaper just based on the design of the front page.

3 weeks without giving a blowjob? You could be my 1st wife?

I have shattered Seinfeld's no-streak. I haven't vomited since 7th grade, more than 20 years ago.

I had a streak going of more than five years without seeing a movie in a theater, but I broke it last month to see The Departed. Great film, so it was worth it.

THAT'S THE END OF THE ****ING THREAD, SLAPPY.

I once worked 10 out of 14 days. That was one streak I never want to replicate.

Dude, don't come in here with that weak ****.

I once worked in some form or fashion 28 of 31 days.

Wow. Yeah, you totally missed the joke. 10 out of 14 days is what most people work if you think about it. I was just trying to be silly.

And **** your 28 of 31 days. I worked 120 straight days once before I was finally able to get a new job where I could take days off.

I had to take two weeks of sick leave when I had back surgery in the beginning of 2000. Other than that, I haven't taken a single sick day since I entered the real world in 1997.

Certainly doesn't mean I've never been sick. But if you don't use any sick time over the course of the fiscal year, you get two more days of vacation the following year. Yipee!

I haven't been sick since like 7th grade. I missed one day in high school because of a funeral (damn great uncle). I don't count missing college class ... I never actually missed one because of something that wasn't my fault (damn booze). I've been working for 18 months now and haven't been since yet.

I'm a little hurt to see there are so many other iron men out there ... I was sort of hoping I was like Bruce Willis from that Unbreakable movie. Damn.

Not only does Ryan Sonner not get sick, but he himself is the cure for cancer, AIDS, cholera, dysentery and gout.

You have died of ... well, you know of what.

I used to be one of those iron men that you all seem to be. Then I read an article that pointed out that coming in to work when your sick generally makes others around you sick and the office as a whole can have what you got for a lot longer than it would if you just took the day off. We get six sick days a year in my company and if they aren't used by the end of the year, they're gone. We don't get any sort of comp time or money for them.

So when I am under the weather. I stay home. And since I don't want to catch what you have, you should too.
